Tails

A linux distro called Tails.. This can be run in a VM or you can boot it from a thumb drive. No need to make any changes to your work or game computer. Just get familiar with running it, playing with it and using it to browse the web with. You don't need it at a daily basis, you just need to be ready for when or if you do need it. Although not perfect (TOR is good but not perfect), it's currently the most foolproof way of reading something online without government knowing you are reading it. Don't forget, the more quiet you are the more you can hear. If you are quite long enough (meaning nobody knows your thoughts) you will start picking up the thoughts of the government, they are not very subtle. And there is no grand conspiracy, it's rather simple. Everybody with wealth or power wants more of it and leveraging technology is the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to acquire more wealth and power. The only way to defend is to leverage the use of counter-technology yourself. We have one and only one defensive weapon: encryption. We have one and only one offensive weapon: cryptocurrency.

Electron Cash

Electron Cash, a Simple Payment Verification client side light wallet that uses a tiny amount of resources. It runs on almost anything (including old feature java phones). It has build in manual text encryption that you can play with so you actually see your readable message gets turned in to string of encrypted nonsense Get a friend to also install it and then send each other messages. You can even send each other encrypted messages WHILE you send each other a little bit of Bitcoin Cash. This gives you plausible deniability and makes it even harder to collect metadata. When done right nobody will know if you are just paying for something, or sending somebody a message. This can also be used to timestamp your own statements and quotes. If you post such encrypted statement to the chain, nobody can read it but you, the person with the private key for that address, but you have unlimited addresses based on one seed so they can be trow away private keys. WHich means that at any time in the future if YOU have to mathematically proof that something you said or thought existed at a particular time in the past YOU CAN BY MAKING THE PRIVATE KEY PUBLIC. This is going to make it almost impossible for governments to try to gaslight your friends and family. It's by far the best defensive weapon in the present against gaslighting in the future. Anyways I am getting ahead of myself. Some people are going to read this and definitely say I am crazy but that's because they don't yet understand the vision.
